Help a Hero.

Emergency Assistance for Firefighters and Their Families

When a firefighter faces a serious injury, illness, loss, or unexpected crisis, we’re here to help. Our Help a Hero program provides financial assistance to San Diego County firefighters and their families, helping ease the burden of medical bills, funeral expenses, and everyday needs during difficult times.

San Diego Regional Firefighters Memorial.

Honoring Their Service. Preserving Their Legacy.

We are working alongside fire service leaders, families, and community partners to establish a permanent firefighters memorial at Waterfront Park in San Diego. This meaningful space will honor fallen firefighters and offer families, colleagues, and the public a place to gather, reflect, and remember.

Your support will help bring this lasting tribute to life, ensuring the courage, service, and sacrifice of our region’s firefighters are remembered for generations to come.
